The release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Version got delayed for Flanders (the Dutch-speaking area of Belgium) and the Netherlands. The reason was because of a save data bug found in English copies of Pokémon HeartGold meant for those two regions. The bug caused certain Pokémon HeartGold copies to not be able to read its save data, even when there was none - rendering the game unplayable.
The game released eventually on April 2nd, 2010 - one week later than the pan European release date (March 26th, 2010).
